NOVA Pride

NOVA Pride’s mission is to build and continually grow a coalition to educate, advocate, and celebrate in service to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) community of Northern Virginia.
Our vision is an empowered, safe, healthy and thriving LGBTQ+ community, working together with straight Allies in common and ongoing pursuit of an increasingly inclusive, diversity-positive community.
Northern Virginia has a huge LGBTQ+ Community, and it has been underserved and largely unrecognized. NOVA Pride was founded out of a need for recognition and resources for the LGBTQ+ community, and a desperate need for a network between county-based organizations, charities, social groups, elected leadership and the community-at large in order to truly form a sense of community, combat community tensions, and empower the community to achieve results.
